I've stashed a few items for the next enchanting session. I have to get rich first and find other items worth upgrading... but for that i might have to beat the game and go to the Mapworks first

I hate this place. I have to follow the glowing circle, because i get hurt if i step outside.

On top of that there's some really nasty spawns here, i nearly died twice



And of course - traps



Finally, using Ice Prison

I could have gotten something better, come on...



Let them touch my companion now...



From time to time i try to gamble one or two shields as it is not uncommon to get uniques from gambling... it really pays off sometimes - Stashed this one

I love this thing... the ice pillars don't block me and i can walk through them, but they do block the enemies from reaching me



I like that one



Boss battles keep getting slower and slower, despite me getting much stronger

I'm really baffled by the sporadic difficulty of Elite... just before this boss i was getting wrecked by some regular trash mobs, but during the actual boss fight, i could tank most of his attacks and never felt in danger.



Four uniques can be transmuted in to a random unique of similar quality and level. I completely forgot about this, i could have been transmuting all my trash unique finds instead of selling them

Time to leave the desert

There's a spell tome merchant here... i will re-roll the map a few times to see if i can get the one that increases shield block chance and maybe some other useful ones too.



She also sells rings, i stashed that one



Nice boots, i'm equipping them immediately as they already have two sockets. I will have to lose some attributes, but it's not a big deal, these boots are higher level and will receive higher attribute enchantments when i have the money to upgrade them.

I forgot that after a completion of one side quest in act 2, Zeryphesh also gets a tome merchant. I'll be rolling both...



That one will save me some gold in the long term... it reduces the enchanter prices too, which is great



Another must have item, i'm equipping it as i only have MF dice on my old shoulder armor

Health is now over 4200, but if i am to reach level 100 and survive in NG+5, i will have to somehow bring it in the realms of 15-20 thousand, while having over 50% damage reduction, 75% chance to block and over 50% dodge chance... that seems impossible to imagine at the moment, but with patience and some crazy unique socketables, i can do it. I will also have to spend at least 10 million gold for enchanting my endgame gear.



Yes, that's it!



With it my blocking chance stands at 49%... not bad at all for this stage. The highest rank of this spell gives 12% chance to block
